4. Your Rights Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Right to Object to Data Processing in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process based on your consent or in performance of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. You also have the right to have this data transmitted directly to another controller, where technically feasible.
Right of Access, Rectification, and Erasure
You have the right, within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if necessary, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this and other questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction applies in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data held by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If you have objected under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line switching from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser address bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to Promotional Emails
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligations for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as spam emails.
Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.
Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain services from third parties to be integrated within websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart), or to optimize the website (e.g., audience measurement cookies), are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, allow cookies only in individual cases, block cookies in certain cases or generally, and automatically delete cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
You can find more information about the specific cookies and services used on this website in this privacy policy.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.
Request by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your request including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the efficient handling of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fulfilled).

6. Social Media Elements
Social Media Plugins with Shariff
Social media elements (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) are used on this website. You can typically recognize them by the respective social media logos.
To ensure privacy on this website, we use these plugins only in conjunction with the “Shariff” solution. This tool prevents social media plugins integrated into the website from automatically transferring data to the respective providers when you first enter the site.
A direct connection to the provider’s servers is only established when you actively click on the social media button (consent). As soon as you activate the plugin, the provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are logged into your social media account (e.g., Facebook), the provider may associate your visit to your account.
The activation of the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. This consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
This website includes elements of the Facebook social network, provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland. According to Facebook, collected data may also be transferred to the USA or other third countries.
If the social media element is active, a direct connection between your device and the Facebook server is established. Facebook then receives information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website to your Facebook profile. Facebook can then associate your visit with your user account.
For details, see Facebook’s privacy policy:
https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation
Where personal data is collected via this tool and transferred to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. are jointly responsible (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility covers only the collection and transfer of data to Facebook. Further processing is solely Facebook’s responsibility. The joint processing agreement can be found here:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum
Facebook is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). More details:
https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov
This website also includes functions of Instagram, provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. When the plugin is activated, a direct connection to the Instagram server is established. Instagram then receives information that you have visited our site. If you are logged into your Instagram account, Instagram can associate your visit with your profile.
The terms of shared responsibility and DPF certification are identical to those for Facebook (see above).

7. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require your email address and confirmation that you consent to receiving the newsletter. Additional data is optional. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter form is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected.
Your data will be stored until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted thereafter. We may store your email address in a blacklist if necessary to prevent future mailings. This is in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves both your and our interest in compliance with the law. Blacklist entries are not merged with other data and are stored indefinitely unless you object with overriding interests.
